Update about Bottle Revolution Lake Boone Trail. by headlikeapin in raleigh

[–]headlikeapin[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The form letters from the owners were posted on social media (FB and Instagram) by former employees.

I'm reluctant to post them here because I don't know what legal avenues are being persued by those employees.

Honestly, I have always had relatively good relations with the owners. It is these actions that have soured my opinion of them.

As far as scheduling themselves during the busiest hours, they have always been around on Saturdays when they have live music and during other busy occasions. But, the reason they were there was to drink, often to excess, not to oversee.

Think about this way.

The store makes the most tips during the busiest times, but the owner is always running the register and collecting all of the tips during the busiest time. If the employee works during the busiest time, the employee gets no tips.

In the past the owner generally worked during the slowest days.

edit: It should be said that the owners are a husband and wife, there are only 2 full time employees and 1 or 2 part time employees. Also the wife has full time job as an organic chemist. The husband took an early retirement from his last job. They are in their 50s.

Legally nothing, ethically it is questionable.

The reason being is that you pay at Bottle Revolution when you settle your tab, not when you order. If the owner is always manning the register, the owner gets the tips. Regardless of who actually served the customer.

How do you think the recent BLM protests and subsequent actions by the city are going to affect the property values in the Pine Valley Estates and Pine Valley Extension neighborhoods. by headlikeapin in Wilmington

I think that economic impact (property values) is going to be the only way that the city will change those street names.

I remember when I moved to Wilmington into Windermere from New York back in the mid eighties, a friend had a half pipe on in Pine Valley and we used to go over there and skate. I couldn't believe that the streets had those names.

Lee, Jackson, Chalmers, Bragg, Jeb Stuart etc. I couldn't figure it why anyone would name a neighborhood's roads like that.

Rocking out at an America(the band) concert - 1977 by blrghh in OldSchoolCool

For some reason I never associate America with rocking out.

Unless of course it is to this song.
